 Christine Sullivan is the author of 44 Days Out of Kandahar: the Amazing Journey of a Missing Military Puppy and the Desperate Search to Find Her.

Book Synopsis:
Cinnamon was just a puppy when she found her way into the hearts of many of the service men and women stationed on the base where she lived. One in particular, Navy Reservist LCDR Mark Feffer worried for her future when most of the troops who cared for her were due to rotate out of the region. Who would care for her then?
Getting ready to rotate out himself, Mark decided to adopt her and take her home. Mark, along with countless others, helped care for Cinnamon and prepare her for her journey. An experienced dog handler was to accompany her home; her story should have had a happy ending. Instead her story just begins when her rescue from a sub-existent life as a camp mascot goes awry.
Cinnamon was due to arrive at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport at 4:30 PM on Friday afternoon, but when Cinnamon's flight landed in Chicago she wasn't on it. No one knew where she was. The dog handler entrusted to bring her home had abandoned her in a foreign country without contacting anyone. Was Cinnamon alone without food and water? Was she injured and in need of medical attention? Or was she lying lifeless on an airport tarmac somewhere? Would anyone ever know what happened to her?
As the story unfolds, you'll relive the amazing true story of a nearly impossible international search and rescue of Cinnamon. From her lonely start when her mother disappeared, to her endearing puppy antics entertaining the troops, to the extraordinary events that strung together and changed her life, you’ll learn how she changed the lives of all those who cared for her forever.

Cats accepted into the PAL adoption program are provided with all their necessary veterinary care and reside at the shelter or in foster homes until they find their forever homes. While many cats, especially kittens, are placed within a couple of weeks, some of our guests are older or shy and may stay for months or even years awaiting their permanent homes.
Sponsoring a cat will help PAL continue to provide food, toys, beds, and medical care until each cat is adopted by a loving family.
You are welcome to sponsor any of the cats at PAL. Too hard to choose? PAL has created a Sponsor Me button for the long term or harder to place cats. Check the Cats for Adoption page to see which cats PAL has designated for this special sponsorship.

Friends of Ferals |
CATS WITHOUT A HOME
We wish that all cats could live with a loving family. We wish that all cats could be warm, well fed and spend long days basking in a sunny window. However, it is not meant to be...
The longer we are involved with cat rescue, the more aware we have become of the need to help feral cats. These cats have been raised without human contact and most of them will never become pets or companions. In recent years, there is growing support by most animal welfare organizations to help these cats through TNR Programs (trap, neuter and release). This is quite a change from the past where the solution to the feral cat problem was to trap and euthanize.
PAL attempts to make caring, intelligent decisions regarding feral cats. We evaluate each situation. If there is shelter – and the cats are being fed – we trap, neuter and release. However in some situations, the decision to euthanize is made ending a life of suffering and misery.
PAL is establishing a special "Friends of Ferals" to help the many feral cats in our local communities. If you would like your donation to be used for this purpose, we will honor your request.
Donations have been given by: L. Westwell, C. Roy, A. Roy, B. Zep
